RugOne’s rugged phone Xsnap 7 Pro can withstand intense water spray and being fully submerged for up to 30 minutes with its IP68 and IP69K certifications. One of the phone’s three rear cameras can be removed and used as an independent action camera. Introduced at MWC 2026, the device will be available in limited quantities on Kickstarter on 7 September for €799 (approximately $930); the global launch will take place in October at a price of $999.
The removable camera cannot reach the 4K recording level of the DJI Osmo Nano and Insta360 Go Ultra; it records video at up to 2.7K and 30fps with a 133-degree ultra-wide angle. RugOne says the image will remain natural with distortion-correction algorithms and software stabilization, while recordings will be smoother even when the camera is rotated 360 degrees. The camera’s battery provides up to 40 minutes of recording; this can increase to 800 minutes if it is repeatedly recharged using the phone’s 9,300mAh battery. The built-in 64GB storage can hold up to eight hours of recording in 1080p video; footage can be transferred to the phone’s 512GB storage each time the camera is inserted into its slot. The camera can be used at a depth of 5 meters, while the limit for the phone is 2 meters.
The Xsnap 7 Pro features a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 5G processor, 12GB RAM and Android 16; updates are promised up to Android 20. Its 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display can provide a wireless preview from up to 160 feet away from the camera. The quad-camera system also includes a 32MP front camera, a stabilized 50MP main camera and a 64MP night-vision camera supported by infrared LEDs.
Why it matters
The Xsnap 7 Pro’s main distinction is that it combines a rugged phone with a standalone action camera, an approach that appeals to users who want to reduce the need to carry a separate camera. However, the removable camera’s video capabilities fall short of the 4K level offered by the competing products mentioned in the report, while recording time and storage choices directly affect how the device is used. The fact that the phone and camera have different waterproofing limits is also a detail that users planning to use the device as a single piece of equipment need to consider. The key unanswered question is whether the durability, night vision and modular camera offered in return for the product’s high price will make up for its more limited imaging capabilities.
